GER/HARD HOHN, OF GOSLAR, GERMANY.

SOGK SUSPENDER, GARTER, OR, THE LIKE.

Application filed January 20, 1925, Serial No. 3,609, and in Germany March 15, 192%.

This invention relates to sock suspenders, garters or the like, more particularly to adjusting means therefor.

One object of the invention is to provide a band of woven material manufactured with projecting transverse rib-like abutments on both sides.

A. further object of the invention is to provide a single-slotted slide adapted to surround the band, and to engage it be-.

the band and is therebysecurely held. In

consequence of the simple annular form of the slide it fits flat'and tight on the band out the band being damaged and further avoids the troublesome bulging of the types of slides hitherto employec.

One example of construction of the improved adjusting device in use with a sock Suspender is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a view of a sock suspender when closed. 7 I g a Fig. 2 a plan view of a portion of the ribbed band with a slide.

Fig. 3a side View of Fig. 2, and

Fig. 4 a sectional view on an enlarged scale of the band and slide. v.

The band 1 of the sock holder is provided with transverse ribs or bars 2 which can be to on arm 4 of the slide. The second arm 5 of the slide rests always in a grooved recess between two cross ribs and is pressed by the pull of the hand against one cross rib which serves as an abutment to prevent any undesired displacement.

The band may be either elastic or non- V elastic.

- The improved adjusting device may also be employed with stocking suspenders, garters, sleeve holders and the like employed for articles of clothing.

I declare that what I claim is In a sock suspender, garter or the like the combination of a band of woven material provided throughout with projecting transverse rib-like abutments on both sides and a single-slotted slide attached to one end of said band and adapted to lean against one or other of said abutments on the fixed portion of said band.

i In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification at Berlin, Germany, this 16th day of December, 1924:.

GERHARD HOHN.
